 > Sorry, but using the same logic we should also introduce some cryptic
 names and perhaps memory leaks. What we should value in relation to code
 is readability and reusability. What is means in this particular case
 might be debatable, but in general we should definitively prefer
 ''readable code'' rather than ''antiquated style''.

 I agree with you in principle, although when you have a module written in
 one style, it might be a good idea to not mix too much with another, as
 that might actually confuse and cause less readability.

 And in this particular case, I do find the static declaration within the
 function more easily understandable and readable than the pointer magic
 spread over all the code.
